Hi

One way to do this, would be to add a shortcut to that page to your Android home screen, so that when you open that icon it opens Firefox and takes you straight to that page.

  • Open the page you want to visit in Firefox for Android.
  • Open the Options menu and long press on the star icon to save it as a bookmark.
  • When it saves, you will see a confirmation box at the bottom of the screen, together with an Options menu.
  • In that menu is the ability to add the bookmark to your homescreen.

I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look into a different solution for you.
